CCTV News:Since the beginning of this year, China has continued to promote large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods. Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission pointed out that by 2027, the scale of equipment investment in seven major areas such as industry, agriculture and construction will increase by more than 25% compared with that in 2023, and the demand for equipment renewal will be a huge market with an annual scale of more than 5 trillion yuan. At present, what is the progress and effect of trade-in? Look at the report.

Energy-intensive industries: saving energy and reducing emissions to improve production efficiency

In the manufacturing field, metallurgy and building materials are big energy consumers, and they are also the key transformation industries mentioned in this large-scale equipment renewal operation. In this metallurgical enterprise in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu, the reporter saw that the new factory, which is several hundred meters away from the old factory, is planning the fourth "ultra-thin belt" production line with short process and ultra-low emission. Compared with the traditional production line, the fuel consumption is reduced by 95%, the water consumption is reduced by 80%, and the carbon emission is only a quarter of that of the traditional production line.

Like metallurgical industry, building materials industry is also the key industry of this equipment update. In this building ceramics manufacturing enterprise in Guangdong, in the ceramic production line, robots operate automatically, and only a few staff members are on patrol at the scene.

Household appliance enterprises: accelerate lean transformation

In addition to high energy-consuming industries, the upgrading of traditional manufacturing equipment is also the key area of this equipment update. In this world’s largest dishwasher factory, the reporter saw that various precision equipment such as robotic arms were distributed on the production line, and parts and machines were automatically forged and assembled. At the foot, the unmanned AGV car shuttles back and forth. The distant air transport track promotes the efficiency of time and space to the extreme. Here, the word that reporters hear most is lean, that is, to complete production with the most efficient equipment in a limited space. The staff told the reporter that this dishwasher liner production line has undergone three equipment transformations, with the floor space reduced by two-thirds and the staff reduced by half.

Recycling industry: recycling stimulates the potential of trade-in

In this power battery recycling enterprise in Foshan, Guangdong, professional processing equipment can disassemble the power battery, extract recycled materials by chemical methods, and then apply them to new batteries to realize where the battery resources come from. According to the statistics of China Renewable Resources Recycling Association, in 2023, the recycling amount of 10 kinds of major renewable resources, such as waste steel, waste non-ferrous metals and waste plastics, reached about 392 million tons, which continued to play a prominent role in supporting the national resource security.

Create new employment space

At present, it is the golden period of "Golden Three Silver Four" job hunting and employment. According to the data, the number of college graduates in 2024 is expected to reach 11.79 million, an increase of 210,000. At present, what new opportunities will the country bring to job seekers by vigorously promoting the construction of modern industrial system and accelerating the development of new quality productive forces?

"Good wind relies on strength" new energy field has become a hot spot for recruitment.

At the School of Automation, Beijing Institute of Technology, Yang Jiaqi, who is about to graduate this year, is asking his senior brother about equipment debugging.

Yang Jiaqi, 25, studied electrical engineering and automation at the postgraduate level. His previous employment direction was mainly in aerospace, rail transit and other fields, as well as some scientific research institutes. In recent years, with the rapid development of new energy industry, Yang Jiaqi and others have more new choices. More than 30% of the graduates in her class this year have chosen new energy-related enterprises.

Artificial intelligence, big data and other related talents are in strong demand.

In addition to the new energy field, the demand for talents related to artificial intelligence and big data is also very strong at the spring special job fairs in some universities.

According to experts, as the country accelerates the development of new quality productivity, emerging industries will continue to release development momentum, and while some jobs disappear, many new job demands will also be generated.

"package mail" to Xinjiang

Online shopping is an important factor to attract consumers to place orders on e-commerce platforms. However, limited by the vast territory and sparse population, the logistics cost in Xinjiang has remained high, which has caused troubles to local people’s online shopping. However, with the joint efforts of many express delivery companies and e-commerce platforms this year, the package plan is gradually implemented in Xinjiang, and "package delivery to home" is becoming a reality in Xinjiang.

"Xinjiang postage" plan drives product sales growth

In a pet e-commerce company in Hangzhou, the reporter saw that the staff were busy taking photos of new snacks and nutrients needed for pets to change seasons. In the past, due to the slow transportation and high cost, the sales volume of goods with time-sensitive function in Xinjiang was almost single digits per month, but recently, with the launch of the "Xinjiang postage package" plan by many e-commerce platforms, the sales volume in Xinjiang has increased significantly.

The villagers in Awati Township, Korla City, Bazhou, Xinjiang also came to the village Committee to pick up the pieces as usual these two days. Under the operation of the staff, she got her own courier in less than 5 minutes.

Innovating centralized transportation mode to reduce operating costs

How is "Xinjiang postal package" realized? In a warehouse of Hangzhou Post, Zhejiang Province, many mails are affixed with the logo of "special container transportation". This is the first domestic postal consolidation warehouse in China. After the mails from major e-commerce platforms and express delivery companies in China are sent to Hangzhou in a unified way, they are loaded directly to Xinjiang through here, which reduces the processes of re-loading, unloading and transportation after transferring to Lanzhou and other places.

The time limit for parcel delivery is mentioned again and again

At the same time, the delivery time limit of the package is also mentioned again and again. According to the data of e-commerce platform and express delivery company, the package sent to Xinjiang in 7-8 days has been shortened to less than 5 days.

The daily average express delivery volume in Xinjiang has increased by nearly one million pieces.

In addition, the proportion of merchants not delivering goods has also dropped from 10.17% at the beginning of September last year to 0.83%. Many e-commerce platforms not only open the postal channel, but also subsidize consumers’ shopping. The data shows that the delivery rate of online shopping in Xinjiang has increased significantly, and the average daily delivery volume has increased by nearly one million pieces.

　　For many industries, such as college teachers, engineers, doctors and nurses, publishing papers is a "hard lever" for being awarded professional titles. Where there is demand, there is a market. On the network platform, a large number of intermediaries and sellers have entered the line of sight by searching for keywords such as "paper" and "publication". They claim to be "providing topics, writing and publishing services" and "one-stop, time-saving and efficient". It seems that with their help, it is very easy to publish articles in regular journals.

　　Beijing Youth Daily reporter noted that the generation of papers has spawned a complete interest chain, but the risks behind it are often ignored by people who are bent on "taking shortcuts". Due to the eagerness to publish, some people have been drained to various agencies with mixed quality. What’s more, even the follow-up employment notices, periodicals and magazines are false.

　　Take advantage of the victim’s "guilty conscience"

　　Junior high school students cheat highly educated doctors.

　　Ms. Wang, 41, from Jiangyan District, Taizhou City, Jiangsu Province, is an employee of a local hospital. Due to the evaluation of professional titles by her unit, she needs to publish papers in relevant academic journals. Ms. Wang, who hasn’t written for many years, has some troubles. She was tempted when she heard from a friend that there are "gunmen" on the Internet who specialize in "writing and publishing papers on behalf of others".

　　In May last year, Ms. Wang found many "merchants" who wrote and published papers on behalf of others through online search. Later, she chose one of the "institutions" for a simple consultation and added the micro-signal provided by the other party to establish contact. The other party claims that it can not only distribute papers, but also provide ghostwriting services according to professional needs, and ensure that the papers written on behalf of it can be published.

　　The other party also sent some previous "successful examples" to Ms. Wang, and said that "the company should cooperate with several journals in depth" and reminded not to worry. After the two sides agreed on the price, Ms. Wang first paid the other party a "deposit" of 3,000 yuan through WeChat, and agreed to write the paper and talk about the publication after confirmation.

　　Three months later, Ms. Wang received the paper as scheduled, and the content was related to the topic she provided, but the quality was not high and there was no research result, so it should be difficult to publish it under normal circumstances. The other party told her that as long as she paid the manuscript fee again, she could publish it in a national journal. Although Ms. Wang was somewhat suspicious, she turned to the agreed 5,500 yuan. After the transfer, I waited for several months and didn’t see the paper published.

　　Realizing that she was cheated, at the end of April this year, Ms. Wang, who was ashamed and angry, was persuaded by her family and chose to call the police. After receiving the police, Jiangyan police inquired in detail about the process of being cheated and collected and verified relevant transfer records and other evidence. Later, the police arrested 12 suspects, including Huang.

　　According to Sun Qiao, a police officer handling the case in Jiangyan, most of the criminal gangs have junior high school education and only two have high school education. They simply don’t have the ability to write and distribute professional papers, but they have mastered some "routines" and "words" for writing and distributing papers. There are more than 1,000 cases involving gangs, and most of the victims involved are doctors and nurses. The amount of fraud per person is about 5,000 to 10,000 yuan.

　　In addition to the online platform advertisements that deceived Ms. Wang, Sun Qiao said that there are still several staff members in the gang who are responsible for "running business" offline. They focused their attention on hospitals around the country, photographed the address book of medical staff and summarized it into the company system. After that, other staff in the office made up the editor’s identity of a certain periodical, and sent text messages to doctors and nurses one by one to ask if there were any related needs and seek specific "cooperation".

　　"It is disgraceful to write and publish papers on behalf of others. After discovering that I was cheated, I chose ‘ Silence ’ Criminal gangs are very smart, and they use this psychology to commit fraud. " Sun Qiao said.

　　"Take a shortcut" for evaluating professional titles

　　Received a fake magazine after handing out the paper.

　　Compared with Ms. Wang in Jiangsu who didn’t even see the sample publication after spending money, Mr. Zhang in Beijing is even more bitter and can’t tell. Mr. Zhang is the backbone of a construction company in Beijing. This year, he waited for the opportunity to evaluate the intermediate title. Because Mr. Zhang was eager to publish his paper within the time limit stipulated in the title selection, he searched online and found a magazine that claimed to be able to distribute core periodicals on his behalf.

　　After Mr. Zhang provided his own paper, the "magazine editor" told Mr. Zhang that the content of his paper was really not very good, and it might be a little difficult to publish it, but they could provide paid ghostwriting services for Mr. Zhang. I thought that I would have to invest a lot of time and energy in writing another paper. If I didn’t say it, I might still fail. So after careful consideration, Mr. Zhang decided to spend money to solve the problem.

　　Twenty days later, Mr. Zhang received the periodical. Looking at his published papers, he felt that the money was not wasted. However, when he was full of joy and took the published paper to select the title, he was rejected. "Just say that this magazine is fake and ask me where I contacted this magazine. I also wrote a review."

　　The title was not evaluated and was punished by the unit, which made Mr. Zhang very regretful. This magazine in my hand is very formal and clearly printed with the serial number of the public issue. How can it be fake?

　　So he contacted the editor who helped him publish the paper at the first time. Unexpectedly, the other party changed his previous enthusiasm and said very strongly that the unit’s disapproval was a matter of the unit and had nothing to do with them. It was impossible to get a refund, and then he was blacked out. At this time, Mr. Zhang felt that something was wrong and immediately reported the police.

　　The magazine provided by Mr. Zhang to Shunyi police in Beijing has a thickness of more than 100 pages, and its cover and layout look like a professional magazine in the construction industry. However, Shunyi police confirmed through investigation that this was a typical case of impersonating a regular magazine to commit fraud. Mr. Zhang received a counterfeit fake magazine, and the editors of the so-called magazine who contacted Mr. Zhang and collected money were also impersonating.

　　The police found that this is a criminal gang that swindles people who need to publish papers. The members of the gang have a clear division of labor and are very cunning. They make full use of the victim’s reluctance to let others know that they are writing and publishing papers on their behalf, and commit tens of thousands of crazy crimes. According to the survey, there are many kinds of magazines that this gang pretends to be, including medicine, science and technology, etc.

　　The reporter of Beijing Youth Daily noticed that many people who participated in the evaluation of Beijing’s professional titles in 2021 reported to the media that they were disqualified from participating in this year’s professional titles because the submitted journals were judged as false journals after submitting the preliminary examination materials.

　　These participants who have the same experience have one thing in common. They all send their papers to an intermediary or "editor" instead of directly contacting the publishing unit of the journal. After the intermediary arranged for the publication of the article, the participants even got a paper-based periodical with a unified serial number. They said that they did not expect to encounter fake journals.

　　China Association for Science and Technology has started special rectification.

　　Beijing is recorded in the integrity archives.

　　The reporter of Beijing Youth Daily noticed that a special rectification has been started for the cooperation between journals and "paper intermediaries" in spamming papers. On November 8th, official website, China Association for Science and Technology, issued the "Notice on Carrying out Special Inspection on Spamming of Papers in Journals in Charge of China Association for Science and Technology". According to the circular, the target of this special inspection is all journals whose papers are published by China Association for Science and Technology. Among them, it is important to check the periodicals with more than 2,000 papers published in the whole year, the periodicals with most papers of no more than 5,000 words or no more than 3 pages in each issue, the periodicals suspected of publishing papers beyond the scope in the annual inspection and reading in the past three years, and the periodicals with dense publishing cycles such as semi-monthly, weekly and so on.

　　The notice also mentioned that serious violations such as renting and selling periodical number pages and cooperating with "paper intermediaries" should be dealt with and corrected seriously according to law. Periodicals that are unsustainable and do not have the corresponding ability to publish and check are changed to the competent organizer, closed and cancelled.

　　On November 10th, 2021, the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security issued the "Notice on Maintaining the Integrity Environment of Professional Title Evaluation" in official website. According to the circular, applicants who provide false materials, plagiarize other people’s works and academic achievements, or take other improper means will be disqualified in accordance with relevant regulations and recorded in the "blacklist" of professional title evaluation, and those who have obtained professional titles will be revoked and recorded in the integrity archives of professional title evaluation.

　　In addition, the notice also stated that the evaluation system for representative works of achievements has been fully implemented in Beijing. The applicant can independently select project reports, research reports, technical reports, engineering plans, design documents, performance reports, patents, monographs, papers and other performance achievements to submit to the title review. Please don’t believe the false propaganda of "fake journals", but pay attention to summarizing and refining the achievements in technology research and development, technology reform, technology application, standard setting, academic research and other aspects in daily work, and timely summarize and sort them out, and declare the title evaluation with the achievements that best reflect the ability level.

　　[Expert advice]

　　Papers and other "paper" indicators can not fully reflect the professional title ability.

　　Academic transformation achievements or ability assessment should be added.

　　Lawyer Deng Qianqiu of Beijing Zhongwen Law Firm told Beijing Youth Daily reporter that if the participants really don’t know that the periodical that published their papers is a false periodical, and the intermediary conceals the fact that the periodical is false and fabricates the truth that the paper has been published on the periodical, according to the relevant judicial interpretation, if the intermediary defrauds the property with a value of 3,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan, it may constitute a crime of fraud in criminal law.

　　If the periodical that publishes the paper is a real periodical, but the paper is not written by the participants, but written by the intermediary, the intermediary’s behavior is illegal; If the intermediary is an enterprise, the amount of illegal business operation reaches 500,000 yuan or the illegal income reaches 100,000 yuan, or if the intermediary is a natural person, the amount of illegal business operation reaches 50,000 yuan or the illegal income reaches 10,000 yuan, it should be criminally prosecuted for the crime of suspected illegal business operation.

　　Shen Teng, an adjunct professor at China University of Political Science and Law, a tutor for master students, and a lawyer at Beijing Shuaihe Law Firm, told Beijing Youth Daily that the personnel who participated in the title selection should "go straight and do the right thing", and integrity is the first. If the whole paper is written by others, it is definitely suspected of academic fraud and should be included in the "blacklist" of academic dishonesty.

　　Shen Teng said that the paper agency regarded writing on behalf of others as an industry, which ruined the social atmosphere. But the root cause is that even if this gang is destroyed, there will be other gangs like it; If this model is destroyed, it will be transformed into another model. The reason is determined by the supply and demand market of "paper" qualification examination. At present, many professional titles are evaluated by indicators, not by ability. And what is the index evaluation, as long as it meets the "paper" conditions on the appearance, this is not the ability to present.

　　For normative intermediaries, it is an organization that is familiar with procedures and data standards for qualification declaration. They are limited to assisting and helping the standardization of application procedures and standards of materials, and cannot participate in entities (writing on behalf of others and paying for them). In the above cases, it is no problem for the intermediary to fabricate relevant facts for the purpose, and it is classified as fraud.

　　Shen Teng suggested that "paper" indicators such as papers can’t fully reflect a person’s professional title ability, and academic transformation achievements or ability assessment and even psychological testing should be added. By face-to-face, video or practice, the appraisers’ academic, achievements and abilities are randomly verified in substance. Once fraud is found, or verified by reporting, it will be included in the national academic integrity credit information sharing platform, and accountability will be restricted.

1905 movie network news Matt Ruskin’s new film "The Boston Stranger" is in full swing. A few days ago, the film exposed several studio photos. In the photo, one of the main characters of the film appeared on the set in an elegant retro dress.

Judging from the costumes, accessories, props and street scenes shown in the photos, Boston strangler will have a time background in the 1960s. The story of the film is adapted from a real case in Boston.

From June 1962 to January 1964, in a short period of one and a half years, 13 women in Boston were strangled by foreign bodies, and most of them were sexually assaulted before they died. Under the madness of the media, the whole people in Boston fell into great panic, and people called the killer "Boston strangler." No one expected that the killer would confess himself. This man was Albert Henry Desavo. However, the conviction process of Desavo is full of doubts, and it has not been concluded until today. This is also a famous judicial event in American history.

Besides Knightley, many stars, including Alessandro Nivola, will join the cast. On the producer side, Kevin Walsh and Michael Pruss will escort the film. It can be said that this is an all-star team, whether starring or behind the scenes, are the first-line roles in the industry.

　　Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, June 19th　Title: Investigation on the phenomenon of "sky-high price" luxury zongzi in some places

　　Xinhua News Agency "Xinhua Viewpoint" reporters Wan Zhiyun, Zhou Kai and Shao Luwen

　　As the Dragon Boat Festival approaches, Xinhua Viewpoint reporters in some provinces found that "high-priced" zongzi such as "bird’s nest zongzi", "ginseng zongzi" and "abalone zongzi" appeared in the market, with expensive fillings and luxurious packaging. In order to avoid supervision, luxury zongzi are mostly sold by supermarkets to reservations, from physical gifts to virtual gift certificates, and combined sales are made by playing the price "edge ball".

　　During the visit, many salespeople said that high-end zongzi gift boxes are usually "those who buy them don’t eat, those who eat them don’t buy them, and nine times out of ten they are used as gifts".

　　Each box costs nearly 1,000 yuan, mostly "human feelings"

　　Recently, the reporter learned from some five-star hotels, e-commerce platforms and high-end restaurants that a large number of zongzi gift boxes focus on "high-end" and "luxury" positioning, adding shark’s fin, bird’s nest, sea cucumber, ginseng, black truffle and other precious ingredients to the stuffing, and the price is nearly 1,000 yuan per box. The reporter saw in an unannounced visit to a five-star hotel in a city in southwest China that a gift box of "Abalone Zongzi" cost as much as 988 yuan, and there were only 12 Zongzi in it.

　　The reporter found in some e-commerce platforms that many hot-selling zongzi gift boxes are priced above 500 yuan. The customer service of a food online shop told the reporter that the original price of the best-selling zongzi gift box in the store was 1,288 yuan, and the current preferential price is 820 yuan, which contains 12 zongzi with precious ingredients, with an average price of 68.3 yuan per zongzi. "After a few days on the shelves, nearly 500 copies were sold."

　　There are also some "Wechat business" who engage in so-called "local tyrants" purchasing on social media. According to a purchasing staff, shark’s fin, fish roe and crab roe can all be wrapped in zongzi. "The price is not capped, only you can’t think of it, you can’t buy it."

　　In addition to adding some high-grade ingredients, the reporter also found that over-packaging is also a common feature of luxury zongzi gift boxes.

　　In order to "slim down" the packaging of moon cakes and zongzi, on August 15th, 2022, Revision No.1 of the national standard "Restricting over-packaging of commodities requires food and cosmetics" was officially implemented, requiring that the number of packaging layers be reduced, and the maximum number of packaging layers for moon cakes and zongzi should not exceed three; Reduce the packaging cost, and the proportion of packaging cost in the sales price of moon cakes and zongzi above 100 yuan shall not exceed 15%.

　　In a prominent position in the lobby of a hotel in a city in southwest China, there is a row of "Duanli Yayun" zongzi gift boxes with a price of 498 yuan. The gift box is designed as a suitcase, with two leather locks and a leather handle on the gilded shell. The reporter unlocked the lock and opened the lid to see that the internal design of the gift box was equally exquisite and complicated. Seven small boxes of different sizes were placed in two columns, and only when the small boxes were opened could you see the dumplings packaged independently. The front desk staff of the hotel told the reporter: "This gift box is exquisite in production technology and high in cost. Many people buy it by packaging."

　　On some e-commerce platforms, many shops label gift boxes as "luxury leather boxes", "high-end materials" and "refusing to feel cheap". According to the customer service of an online shop, the "Hongfu Royal Product" luxury gift box in this shop sells the best, and its "three-layer, step-by-step design looks very domineering after opening", coupled with the deep stamping process and color gold printing, it is very advanced. A number of shops said that in order to make the gift box have texture, the weight of the package is often 2 to 3 times that of the zongzi itself.

　　It is worth noting that zongzi, a traditional festival food, tends to be reduced to "human feelings zongzi" and "work zongzi". The reporter combed the popular comments of some hot-selling gift boxes on the e-commerce platform, and "buy and send relatives and friends" and "the leader is very satisfied" became high-frequency words.

　　A person in charge of an enterprise on the eastern coast told the reporter that the enterprise has some important customers and social relations, and every holiday is an important opportunity to give gifts to maintain relations. The value of Zongzi itself is not high. If you don’t add some high-end ingredients, the packaging is not high enough, and you don’t attach some other gifts, it will be difficult to get it. Every year before the Dragon Boat Festival, enterprises will order a batch of gift boxes for "doing things".

　　Frequent "new tricks" to avoid supervision

　　The reporter found that in recent years, the relevant departments have stepped up supervision over "sky-high" food and over-packaging, and the sales of some luxury zongzi have turned from bright to dark, shifting from supermarkets to star-rated hotels, high-end restaurants and social platforms.

　　In a high-end hotel chain in a western city, a 488 yuan zongzi gift box is being displayed in the lobby. The waiter told the reporter that this gift box is not for public sale, mainly for old members and big customers, and it is selling well at present.

　　"The gift box is only displayed in the store, and the sales method is customized by appointment, so don’t be afraid of being inspected." In an online shop WeChat applet, a "rong family Dragon Boat Festival" with a price of 2,680 yuan is being reserved. The customer service told the reporter: "Only specific members can buy and provide delivery service."

　　At the same time, the gift certificate of zongzi is also very common. Some chain pastry shops and hairy crab shops rely on the advantages of many offline stores and complete online platforms to sell high-end zongzi gift coupons through social platforms such as WeChat applets, which can be mailed by express mail or picked up in stores, and provide "gift-giving services" such as writing greeting cards, invoicing and delivery on a specified date.

　　The online customer service of a well-known pastry shop said: "Some units are strict in management, and it is inconvenient to send gift boxes directly. It is better to send electronic coupons safely." The lobby manager of a five-star hotel in an eastern province told reporters: "It is very suitable to buy gift certificates for people. If the recipient doesn’t want to pick up the goods, we can also recycle the gift certificates in cash."

　　In June 2022, the relevant departments issued the Announcement on Curbing the "Sky-high-priced" moon cakes and promoting the healthy development of the industry, and strictly supervised the "Sky-high-priced" boxed moon cakes whose unit price exceeded that of 500 yuan.

　　The reporter visited and learned that some merchants set the price at 499 yuan and 488 yuan by reducing the number of zongzi in order to avoid the suspicion of "sky-high price". For example, the gift box of "Dumplings Filled with Buddha’s Jumping Wall" launched by a chain pastry shop costs 480 yuan, but there are only six dumplings, which translates into 80 yuan for each dumpling. There are also some merchants who use the method of combined sales. A single gift box costs more than 400 yuan, which is bundled with tea and high-grade edible oil.

　　Strengthen supervision to stop unhealthy trends.

　　Experts interviewed said that the "makeover" of luxury zongzi still exists, and it still takes a long time to advocate frugality, oppose waste and create a "fresh" holiday atmosphere.

　　Wang Zhongwu, a professor of sociology at Shandong University, and other experts suggested that while strengthening the supervision of offline sales channels, relevant departments should further improve the management of online sales channels such as e-commerce platforms, and at the same time focus on new "moves" such as high-end customization and membership gift certificates, and be wary of luxury zongzi "from bright to dark, from real to virtual".

　　In addition, the relevant standards of commodity over-packaging need to be further improved. Experts such as Wang Huo, Deputy Secretary-General of China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation, believe that the material, environmental protection and manufacturing technology of packaging should be specified in more detail, the rules for initial packaging identification should be optimized, and the calculation method for packaging inspection should be improved, so that producers and operators have no time to drill.

　　At the same time, it is necessary to give full play to the functions of industry self-discipline and self-supervision, and urge industry associations to formulate industry conventions to curb excessive packaging and pursue luxury, so as to avoid blind competition and create a vicious circle.

　　Liao Chenglin, a professor at the School of Economics and Business Administration of Chongqing University, and other experts said that it is understandable to have normal human relations during festivals. However, the issue of "four winds" is often accompanied by an undercurrent during holidays, and bad style such as "human feelings" and "doing things" should be resolutely stopped. Discipline inspection and supervision organs should strengthen supervision, carry out unannounced visits, advocate party member cadres’ honesty for holidays, and firmly stop the "four winds" problem in Zongzi.
